NAME

sysarch -- architecture-dependent system call

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include<machine/sysarch.h>intsysarch(intnumber, void*args);

DESCRIPTION

The sysarch() system call performs the architecture-dependent function
specified by number with the arguments specified by the args pointer.
The args argument is a pointer to a structure defining the actual
arguments of the function. Symbolic constants and argument structures
for the architecture-dependent functions can be found in the header file
<machine/sysarch.h>.
The sysarch() system call should never be called directly by user
programs. Instead, they should access its functions using the
architecture-dependent library.

RETURNVALUES

See the manual pages for specific architecture-dependent system calls for
information about their return values.
